Default Has anyone broken a TruTrac?

Any broken TruTracs? I have been reading recently that they are not reccommended for drag racing and are best for sub 500HP use. I know many on this site have put them through the paces, I'm looking for your feedback.

Also, a related question. What gear sets does everyone like? Are certain brands more likely to break?

Ive been wondering how my TT is holding up? A failure should plainly be heard if not seen, right?
OEM gears

Mines holding up. Im only pushing 500 WHP @ the track though. Ive pulled several 1.6X 60fts as well.
We'll see i guess, I just ordered some more turbo parts; so here shortly i might find the limit

I'm not sure. Your truck was spinning left and right rear wheels at random at the track last time. I didn't know you had a TT until now.

think there might be an issue?
If I get on it hard they both will light up, there's no unusual sounds or anything.
